Exhibition showcasing recent Student-Artist Projects
Showing September 27 - November 1
Carbondale Art Launchpad Gallery
This group exhibition celebrates the work of nine recent student-artists projects, with final artworks, process materials and written reflections. This immersive experience showcases the amazing work by these creative, thoughtful, and brave students.
“Anyone able to go see the exhibition will be able to truly see an honest expression from these students,” Project Shop founder Reina Katzenberger said. “They found the courage to share something that really matters to them, and it’s done in a high-quality way that honors their voices.”
“The exhibition showcases nine student projects, each one focused on a critical issue chosen by the student.
“Each student has expressed a very rejuvenated excitement towards creative expression and art, and remembering what the project meant to them and how it felt,” Katzenberger said.
“The Project Shop’s program is supported by an Arts in Society grant and other donations. Katzenberger expressed how meaningful it was to reconnect with students featured in the exhibition who are now in college.
“It’s incredible to see how their creativity and bravery in expressing themselves have carried over into their lives,” Katzenberger said.”

The Project Shop programs nurture creative expression by empowering youth to artistically address social justice issues, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and facilitating service-learning opportunities. This program engages student-artists to express their voices through design development, printmaking, and production skills with access to equipment and instruction in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.
By articulating and celebrating the power of art we encourage students to actively listen, participate, share, and learn collectively. When students see their lives as part of a larger system, they organically convert apathy and anger into expressive action.
The “Community Service Print Projects” program is made possible by cross-sector collaborations, donations, and an Arts in Society grant which supports cross-sector arts projects addressing social justice.
This distinctive programming regards the creative process as a collective force for a better future.

PROYECTOS COMUNITARIOS DE SERVICIO DE ESTAMPADO
EXHIBICÍON DE TRABAJOS DE ESTUDIANTES CON TEMÁTICA DE CUESTIONES SOCIALES CRÍTICAS
La exhibición grupal Proyectos Comunitarios de Servicio de Estampado (“Community Service Print Projects”) celebra el trabajo de estudiantes-artistas en The Project Shop, una asociación sin fines de lucro. La exhibición muestra 9 proyectos recientes que cuentan con un producto final, reflexiones y proceso de materiales. The Project Shop cuenta con programas que nutren la expresión creativa empoderando a jóvenes a tratar temas como la justicia social, promoviendo la colaboración transversal y facilitando oportunidades para el aprendizaje de servicios. El programa busca que los jóvenes-artistas expresen su propia voz a través de el desarrollo del diseño, estampado, y producción con acceso a equipos e intrucciones para lograr un ambiente seguro e inclusivo con gran apoyo.
Articulando y celebrando el poder del arte alentamos a los estudiantes a escuchar activamente, participar, compartir y aprender de forma colectiva. Cuando los estudiantes pueden percibir sus vidas como parte de un sistema mayor, ellos logran convertir, organicamente, su apatía y enojo en una acción expresiva. El programa de Proyectos Comunitarios de Servicio de Estampado (“Community Service Print Projects”) es posible gracias a la contribución de donaciones, colaboraciones y la beca de Arts in Society que apoya proyectos intersectoriales de arte que se refieren a la justicia social.
The Project Shop fue establecido por Reina Katzenberger como una asociación sin fines de lucro en el 2022. Su función es actuar como una incubadora artística, proporcionando educación a través de proyectos de aprendizaje de servicios, empoderando a los estudiantes a compartir su punto de vista con respecto a temas críticos para fomentar la conversación y el compromise de la comunidad.
Este programa único cree que el proceso creativo es una fuerza colectiva esencial para un futuro mejor.

“The service-based projects not only allow the younger generation to shine light on current issues, but are also bridges of connections between individuals and the wider community.”
